5e: Thunderscreech

Last year, I had a series of blog posts that shared all the conjurable creatures in the 5e MM and I noticed that it was a rather thin selection. I decided to do something about that, seeing as how summoning monsters is something I enjoy doing. I’ve been working for the last few months when I have time (both seconds) on increasing that number. Today I thought I would share with you one of those creatures. This one is ideal for the conjure minor elemental spell, usable by wizards and druids.

Looking like a bird the size of a gnome wreathed in lightning, a thunderscreech is known for its distinctive cry as it swoops in for the kill. A favorite among druids, the thunderscreech will sit upon the shoulder of the one that summoned it until it is given a command, its eyes darting around looking for signs of trouble.

Its exact form varies, covering all types of avians. It frequently appears as an owl for a wizard and a hawk or an eagle for druids. Some scholars believe that the thunderscreech that answers the summoning shares similarities to caster. Others believe that the thunderscreech can change its form to be looked upon more favorably by the summoning caster.
